Where we put the counselor's NEEDS first. School counselors play a unique and vital role in the education system, and their work has a significant impact on the students they work with. From elementary school all the way through college, school counselors can positively influence students and help them get the most benefit from their social and educational experiences. The goal of this website is to support you with credible, research-based resources that help you maintain and grow healthy, efficient, and comprehensive guidance programs. All supports align with the American School Counselor Association and the Texas Model for Comprehensive School Counseling Programs (5th edition).

The guidance curriculum is used to teach students how to develop transferable skills. It is taught in units in the classroom through differentiated, developmental learning activities with planned lessons for various sized groups of students. Learn more!

Responsive services are in place to intervene on behalf of students whose immediate personal concerns or circumstances put their continued educational, career, personal, and social development at risk. Based on the level of need responsive services may be preventive, remedial, or crisis-oriented. Learn more!

Individual planning guides all students as they plan, monitor, and manage their individual educational, career, personal, and social development. It also provides parents and guardians information on post-secondary options. Learn more!

System supports are established to identify and coordinate resources and activities on campus and in the community that indirectly benefit students. These systems are also used to assess student and campus data to support effective school counseling programs. Learn more!
